Phrasal verbs are a type of verb that consists of a main verb and one or more particles (prepositions or adverbs), such as "run out," "look up," or "give in."

In essence, phrasal verbs are a specific type of verbal phrase.
What is the difference between verbs and phrasal verbs?
A phrasal verb is associated with being a type of verb which carries a different meaning from that of the same one (without a preposition). It is much like the compound verbs in German. In English, these are more informal, though they are common. Like German compound verbs, they cannot be avoided - even in business related language. Take, for instance, "I look forward to..." In most cases a phrasal verb can be replaced by a more formal verb, but doing so consistently would render a text too 'dry' (and too 'latinate'). A prepositional verb is simply a transitive verb which generally collocates with a particular preposition. Unlike the phrasal, this verb does not bear another meaning from the verb itself. a basic example of a prepositional verb is "to dream" - we usually use this as a transitive verb, so we will say "I dreamt of..." (something / someone / or with participle) the phrasal verb might be something like "dream up" - as in: "I dreamed it up", meaning something like "I invented / envisioned (an idea / a concept) "
